Gray vs Lily White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Gray belongs to the grey family and Lily White to the blue-white family. Lily White (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Gray (LRV 12), a difference of 68 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Gray runs neutral while Lily White is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 54.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
